HEBRON ESTATES-- Ten days ago, Adam Billings was not even aware that the head football coaching position was open at North Bullitt.
Less than a week later, after a whirlwind romance, Billings was hired last Wednesday as the sixth head coach to lead the Eagle program over the last 39 years.
Billings, who grew up in Bullitt County and played in the Cedar Grove Vikings' organization, replaces Brett Newton who stepped down last month after coaching the Eagles for the past 18 seasons.

Today, I literally turn over the keys to North Bullitt football to my successor, Adam Billings. I wish him complete and early success as he will be coaching “my” boys for the next few years. I thank everyone associated with North Bullitt football for their support. Coach Vincent, you just became the “old man” in the county!

MOUNT WASHINGTON-- After falling in love with the sport as an eighth-grader, now Bullitt East senior Dylan Mattingly can continue competing in wrestling for the next four years after signing with St. Catharine College recently.
The overall situation worked out just fine for Mattingly. St. Catharine just completed its first season of wrestling after becoming only the third school in the state to offer the sport, joining Campbellsville and Lindsey Wilson.

SHEPHERDSVILLE -- The changing weather has been tough this spring.
Warm, hot days followed by winter winds.
With about a month to go until regional competition, teams were getting in some final matches in the days before spring break.

SHEPHERDSVILLE – Tied at 2-2 heading into the top of the seventh inning on a road trip to Breckinridge County, the Bullitt Central Lady Cougars exploded for nine runs in the top of the final frame to win 11-2 for the team’s first win of the season.

In the big inning, the Lady Cougars sent 12 batters to the plate and they pounded out eight hits including back-to-back doubles from Belle Leonard and Brooklyn Benefield that helped break the game open as well as a bases clearing triple by Sarah Noble.

SHEPHERDSVILLE – Holding Bullitt Central to just three hits and snuffing out an early scoring opportunity, the Bullitt East Chargers rolled to a 9-0 victory over their county rivals in cold and windy conditions.

The clash on Tuesday at Bullitt Central is the only regular season meeting between the two programs scheduled for this season.

SHEPHERDSVILLE -- While a bit cool, tennis players were able to get onto the court last week.
The action featured a couple of intracounty matches as each team prepares for play against new regional competitors in early May.
